I agree that Chip is going to have to make changes to his offense to a certain extent, which includes taking away QB runs, but that doesn't quite change his preference for a mobile QB.

Unfortunately, Nick Foles is nowhere near a mobile QB and I believe that Howie Roseman is going to want to build the offense around Foles because Foles has showed enough to warrant another year as the starter.

I firmly believe that Chip Kelly is going to be a very good NFL coach, but I believe he will do it with his own, hand-picked guys.

If you're Chip Kelly, one of hottest, most sought after college head coaches, why the **** would you go to Cleveland? They have none of the personnel you need to run the scheme you've been successful within college if you were planning on running something similar.

No media overload, Clark Hunt is giving the coach more power, Chiefs have pieces like Jamaal Charles that Reid would love and a solid overall roster, Mark Donovan was in Philly with Andy and they had a fantastic relationship and Dexter McCluster and Dontari Poe were two players that the Eagles were extremely high on so he would work with talent he likes.

Speaking of, Ray Orton is having a 2nd interview with Arizona. They are going to hire him.

Who would run Chip Kelly's offense in Cleveland. I don't think Brandon Weeden is the clear cut guy.

Cleveland's been in such a mess, I have a hard time seeing them getting a quality coach.

Well, Weeden and McCoy are as good a situation as he'll get, in all honesty. They were both elite level QBs in college running spread offenses. Take away the running QB aspect of Chip's offense, and it changes a lot.

Chip Kelly moreso needs a QB that won't fight him in adapting to whatever his NFL version of his offense will be. That kind of rules out some of the other jobs like San Diego and Chicago. And I think Weeden is a really good fit for him. If he goes to a team that lacks a QB, Alex Smith should probably be his number one target.

As for the rest of the Cleveland personnel group...it's not in bad shape. He's got some big targets in Gordon, Little, and Watson... He also has some versatile weapons like Cribbs. Richardson fits into any situation, and he can draft the burner he will probably want. It's really not a bad situation, the way I envision that offense translating.

The bad situation is that it's Cleveland and they're in the AFC North. And it's Cleveland.

Most teams are going to try to implement aspects of it. This was the first year it was used in the NFL. Not every team wants to run it and not every OC will know the right situations in which to run it.

He's going to have to build a team wherever he goes. Very few teams are going to have the personnel he needs. And the financial commitment to a late 1st round player isn't nearly the burden it used to be if the Browns want to cut bait on Weeden to make room for Kelly and what he wants to do.

Wherever Chip Kelly goes, he needs to draft Tajh Boyd to be his quarterback and Denard Robinson to be his running back.

If he got the eagles gig I would actually be stoked to bring in a guy like Boyd.

KC - They have a good team just a terrible QB they also have the #1 overall pick. No real OLine woes like Arizona has a neutered GM and it will be a start just like he had in Philly. 5 Pro Bowlers and 3 on the Defense can give him flashbacks to his old Philly team enter Geno Smith who has some issues that need to be ironed out but could easily be the best QB that Reid has had.

Arizona - Reid won games with Kevin Kolb and Reid LOVES to draft O-Linemen. He would have a top tier DC that he hasn't had since Jimmy Johnson.

At the end of it the AFC West is more beatable than the NFC West and the AFC is a weaker conference than the NFC as well. If he's smart and the money is equal I think KC should be the better landing spot.

Keep your hands off him! Although I'm not sure Banner is going to accommodate his desire to have say on player transactions/the draft he could very well wind up in Philly, and it'd be a good hire at that.
